The updated Dragonfly Large Tam-Tam stick boasts a significant volume while offering effortless playing of soft notes. The 150mm wheel-shaped core remains intact in the new design, now accompanied by a weighty 18" aluminum handle with a padded grip. This increased mass and surface area allows for a wide range of overtones on any tam. The dual-textured covering permits easy execution of single notes at different dynamics, and the large core can be placed upright on the floor for swift transitions. This mallet is ideal for general tam-tam playing in most symphonic settings.
